Re: link2fs doesn't see fsx steam edition

A lot of Add-on's use 'Simconnect' which is automatically installed with an ordinary FSX install ,, how-ever the
Steam Edition does not install 'Simconnect' automatically so it need's to be done manually.

Re: link2fs doesn't see fsx steam edition

well I am a newbe if that helps
I have fsx installed and link2fs ran I was able to toggle "switches" in link2fs and I saw it change in the sim. I uninsulated fsx and loaded FSX Steam edition as I think it runs better now when I run link2fs while FSX-SE is running it says FSX not running.
I did run the msi files for simconnect I think there were 3 files now I am not sure what to do
Thanks
Tom

Go into the Windows / WinSxS folder and see if there actually is a simconnect.dll in a folder there ,, the version we are looking for is 10.0.60905.0. (You may have to have "turn hidden files on" to see them.

Other than that , the only thing I can think of is to clean out the Registry which may have still got entrys for your original FSX installation.

It could also be some UAC settings or scanners stopping one program talking to another.

Hopefully some-one else might pop in and point you in the right direction but there is something obviously different with your laptop.
